A lot of people are wringing their hands and bemoaning the results of the presidential election. I have read several op-ed pieces about voter fraud, election manipulation, etc. etc. ... all on the part of the 'bad guys' (Democrats).

I say, it is simply justice. Brutal justice, but still justice. Why?

Let's not forget how the GOP treated Dr. Ron Paul throughout the primaries. They used ever possible trick and deceit and when that failed, outright heavy-handed intimidation tactics to steal the nomination from Dr. Paul. Romney won his place by fraud and manipulation.

Jesus (whom the Republicans think is one of them) said, "Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap". There is a moral law that is as certain as the laws of physics. You sow what you reap.

Tonight the Republicans simply reaped on a national stage what they had been sowing in their primaries. God is a God of justice and He will not be mocked. Especially by the party that thinks He is on their side.

The GOP needs to do some serious soul-searching now. They need to apologize to the Ron Paul crowd, and those who really do love their country and freedoms need to work harder than ever to take over the party and make it a true alternative to the two-headed monstrosity of the Republicrats.

It won't be easy. But few things of value come easily. It's the difficulty of attaining them that gives them their value.

For now, though not an American, I carry on with my trust in God - not as a cutesy little slogan stamped on a coin, but as a guiding principle for life, and concern myself with the details of living my life one day at a time by God's grace.

On a purely political note, it is much better to have Obama at the helm and take the blame for the demise of the economy than the Republicans. If Romney would have been elected, it would have set the libertarian movement back a few years as they would have no chance in 2016 getting a man to run for office with an incumbent there. They need to start working TOMORROW at taking the GOP over at every level of their structure.

Check out the latest results here:

Select the "Show all candidates" link.

Notice that in a lot of the states that Obama won by a small margin that the Libertarian block that voted for Johnson would have made the difference for the Republicans. Factor in all the people who just declined to vote out of disgust with the Republican primary and you see how Obama won reelection.

Amusingly, Rosanne Barr recieved over 48,000 votes.
 
I'm glad my vote for Gary did not go unnoticed. When I stood in the booth, faced with a ridiculous list of candidates and a slew of asinine [Florida] constitutional amendments, I could not bring myself to vote for less worse and ticked the box for Gary.

Fuck it.

Republicans really need to rethink their whole idea of 'electability'. Because they are going backwards. In 2008 they said McCain was more electable than Dr. Paul. In 2012 it was Romney who was 'more electable'.

Look at the numbers: they actually went DOWN in total votes.

2008 McCain / Palin 58,343,671 votes

2012 Romney/ Ryan 57,649,055 votes
